  • i don’t disagree. the american civil war is the tent pole event through which all other analysis of american history needs to be analyzed. certain lefty folks will tell you it’s the great depression but i think that’s fundamentally just examining american history through the lens of when the poverty of the southern tidewater finally reached the northern cities. yes, brown and black people were hit harder by the great depression, so the great depression is still a useful tent pole, however the missing context of why brown and black people didn’t have as many protections from poverty is very important, and that reason is that by not enforcing reckoning against the wealthy elites who enacted the civil war to continue owning people, every enforcement of poverty in the tidewater was allowed to repeat





  • the meme at the top of this is about labor laws and unions. you are responding to it already being brought up. maybe if you learn about the context you live in you’ll learn to see past “the republicans were abolitionists in the 1860s” because they sure as shit weren’t ever since the 1920s, and DEFINITELY weren’t after the ideological flip of the democrats abandoning the southern strategy and the republicans adopting it.


  • your mistake is treating two right wing parties as if either of them is representative of the left, or like the UMWA, USW, UAW, and IWW that brought us weekends were strictly represented in the 1920s and 30s by the democrats or republicans. 10,000 miners don’t march up a mountain with rifles in hand because their needs are represented on a ballot. They got their weekends by demonstrating that could shut down industry if they weren’t listened to. and do you know what all those unions have in common? you have to denounce the Klan to join.

    so get the fuck out of the bullshit left vs right fake binary your high school civics teacher taught you and go learn some real labor history
